But when it comes to froth – or the head as it’s commonly known – what’s the best amount and how can it be achieved?

Summary
Key Points: 
  • But when it comes to froth – or the head as it’s commonly known – what’s the best amount and how can it be achieved?
  • You see, if there’s no foam the CO2 stays dissolved in the beer.
  • If you then eat something, the foam erupts in your stomach rather than the glass, causing beer bloat.
  • This is done to minimise foam but leads to a less pleasurable, gaseous experience instead of a creamy, toasty sip.
